HAIRPIN HOLDER.

Application med April 10, 1922. Serial No. 551,379.

To all 'whom z't may concern.'

Be it known that I, FRANCIS W. ALLING,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Winsted, in the county of Litchfield and State of Connecticut, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Hairpin Holders, of which the following is a speeliication, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawings.

The invention relates to hair pin containers, and has for its object to provide a device of this character, formed from a single sheet of material, and so constructed when folded that a plurality of pockets are formed for the reception of a plurality of hair pins of did'ercnt sizes. The container is constructed that when partially opened may be suspended from a support for display and storage purposes.

A further object is to provide a multiple pocket hair pin container formed from. a single sheet of material, said sheet comprlsing a body member rectangular shaped, op-

ositely disposed apertured flaps adapted to gold onto opposite sides of the body member and held thereon b engaging flaps carried by the lower side o the body member. The body member is foldable centrally on a vertical line and provided with a hap for hanging up the device which folds between the sections of the body member and a slot re'- cei flap for holding the body member in fol ed position.

With the above and other objects in view the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts as hereinafter set forth, shown in the drawings, described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a plan view of the blank from which the contalner is formed.

Figure 2 is a front elevation of the con-` tainer showing the same in open position.

Figure 3 is a perspective View of the container showing the same in closed position.

Referring to the drawin the numeral 1 designates the substantie ly rectangular shaped ortion formin the body member of the evice. Extending outwardly from the side 2 of the bod ortion 1 is a flap 3, which flap is provi ed) with hair pin receiving apertures 4. The flap 3 `folds onto the side 5 of the body member 1 and is held thereon by means of the securing flap 6, the

vtongue 7 of which passes through slots 8 in the flap 3 and under the strip 9 formed thereb It will be seen that a container is forme for the reception of the lower ends of hair pins whenpassed through the apertures 4. Extending outwardly from the sides 10 of the body portion 1 is a ap 11, which is provided with hair pin receiving apertures 12 similar to the apertures 4, but spaced at a greater distance from the lower end 13 of the iiap 11 and adapted to receive longer hair pins when the Hap 11 is folded onto the portion 14 of the body member 1 and held thereon by means of the tongue 15 of .the flap 16 when said tongue is passed through the slots 17, and under the strip 18 formed thereby, as clearly shown in Figure 2. Extending outwardly from the side 2 of the body member 1, above the flap 3, is an elongated securing Hap 19 which when the body member 1 is folded on the dotted line 20, after the container has been folded to the and supporting fla 21 has lbeen folded downwardly on the flbtted lines 22 enters the slot 23 from the back of the body portion 1, thereby holding the packing in a compact position for storage and shipping purposes.

The flap 21 is provided with an aperture 24V adjacent its outer end and centrally disposed, sa1 d aperture forming means whereby the contalners 1n open position as shown in Figure 2 may be suspended for' display and single sheet of material, said container comprising spaced hair pin receiving ckets foldable upon each other, a securing ap extending outwardly from the outer side of one of said ockets and adapted to be received in a s ot in the back wall of the adjacent pocket when said ockets are Jfolded onto each other, a ila disposed above the pockets and provide with an aperture position shown in Figure 2 and the covering whereby the container in unfolded position :may be suspended, said flap folding between the pockets when the pockets are folded iipon each other.

2. A hair pin container formed from a single sheet of material and having adjacent hair pin receiving pockets said pockets being foldable upon each other, a supportin Hap disposed above the pockets and provi ed with anaperture whereby the container may be supported, said supporting Hap being foldable onto the pockets and foldable transversel thereby allowing' the pockets to be folde onto each other and a securing ap carried by one of said pockets and adapted to enga-ge over t'he. adjacent pockets and hold the pockets in close engagement with each other.

3. A multiple pocket hair pin receiving container formed from a single sheet of material, said sheet comprising a rectangular shaped body portion, outwardly extendmesma ing ape rtured receiving Haps carried by opposite sides of the body portion and substantially one half the length of the body portion and foldable onto the body portion at opposite sides thereof, :Foldable fia s at the lower side of the body portion an foldable onto the flaps and receive the slots thereof, pockets formed by the aps, said body portion being folda 1e on the vertical center line, a flap extending upwardly from the u per end of the body portion and foldable thereon, and foldable on itself, and a securing a carried by thereby forming bottoms of one side of the body portion a ove one of the foldable hair pin receiving da s and adapted to extend around the opposite side olf tthe body portion and be received in a s o v In testimony whereof I hereunto alix my y signature.
